Book ReViews Vinyl Acetate Emulsion Polymerization and Copolymerization with Acrylic Monomers. By H. Yildirim Erbil (Kocaeli University, Turkey). CRC Press: Boca Raton, FL. 2000. xii + 324 pp. $139.95. ISBN 0-8493-2303-7 The aim of the author in writing this book was to provide “an introductory and clear text” about polyvinyl acetate-based latices and some the problems involved in their production. In accord with this goal, the chapters move from general to specific topics. The history of emulsion polymerization, its applications to vinyl acetate, and a review of free radical addition polymerization are provided in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 covers the essential concepts of emulsion polymerization. Various aspects of emulsion homo- and copolymerization of vinyl acetate are covered in the next three chapters. The remaining three chapters cover the following topics: Colloidal Stability of Vinyl Acetate Homo- and Copolymer Latices; Experimental Determination of Latex Properties; and Factors Affecting the Final Properties of Polyvinyl Acetate-Based Latices. Appendices that provide data such as specifications and wet analyses of vinyl acetate and ester acrylates, as well as solubilities and specifications for polyvinyl acetate, complete this monograph.

Stabilized Carbocations, includes an introduction to the subject and detailed subsections on the procedures (i.e., equipment, materials, stepby-step processes) used to prepare key reagents and carry out reactions with them. This book should appeal to both organic chemists and specialists in organoselenium chemistry. JA004824S 10.1021/ja004824s
